Archaeometry studies
Archaeometry
analysis
in
art
and
cultural
heritage
works
by
using
scanning
electron
microscopy,
spectroscopic
techniques,
methods
of
thermal
analysis
and
X-rays.
Methods
are combined to receive an integrated information output.
•
Characterization
and
identification
of
pigments
composition,
painting
substrates
and
geological samples
•
Composition and annealing temperatures of ceramics
•
Determination of fibers and pigments for ceramics dyes
•
Properties evaluation and estimation for conservation materials
•
Evaluation of the conditions of old maps, parchments and leather works
•
Estimations
on
the
surface
morphology,
the
composition
and
the
conservation
conditions of coins and other metallic works
Different
categories
of
works
are
studied
including
paintings,
ceramics,
structural
and
precious stones, mosaics, papers, parchments, textiles/fibers, metals etc.
